Can someone post build.prop change instructions? And it should only be temporary correct? Since after installing the game/s, it should be okay to revert back to the original build.prop

Sent from my ADR6425LVW... An HTC Rezound
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I have the same request , can someone please post how to change the build prop or at least how the change should look. I have changed it on the Moto Droid so can find the file and what not. I am just not sure if I just change the name to Galaxy S or what not.

[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
So, to sum up instructions up, go to /system/ and edit the build.prop in a text editor to show the following for the Desire HD:

ro.product.model=Desire HD

ro.product.brand=htc_wwe

ro.product.name=htc_ace

ro.product.device=tenderloin

ro.product.board=ace

ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a

ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

I installed MC3 and NOVA 2 successfully after a restart.

To prevent mistakes and errors, make a copy of the original build.prop file AND do a Nandroid backup.
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
Btw, test and confirmed to work. Nexus S will not work if you want to install Modern Combat 3 or NOVA 2.

Order and Chaos DOES NOT work on the rezound. I don't know how the op got it to work nor why he created two thread of the exact same threads.

I've tried from versions 1.0-1.08 (latest), changed build props to the nexus, nexus s and desire hd and tried cracked versions and none have worked.
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
I used this to further my progress...

Trying the build.prop edits now. Rebooting as we speak. Here goes hoping...

Update -

No luck. Market still loading as Vigor. Hmmm.. **starts pulling hair out**

Would you mind posting your build.prop? I've checked the edits and rebooted three times. Still no go.
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
You mean me? Clear data on Google Services Framework and Market before reboot.

ro.product.model=Desire HD

ro.product.brand=htc_wwe

ro.product.device=tenderloin

ro.product.board=ace

ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a

ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

Make sure to edit both lines of the first line I changed, since there are two of them. One line is in the beginning and easy to miss. Also, after a successful attempt, be sure to restore the original build.prop, or you might have issues with the camera like I did.
[HTC Rezound] Unreadhyperion:
Yea, tried that the second time. I was finally able to get MC3 to download trying to download the files now... I ended up changing the fingerprint to:

ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.4/GRJ22/183296.6:user/release-keys

Rebooted and it worked without issue. Thanks!!! Not sure I had to change the fingerprint but it is the only thing that worked for me. So if anyone else is having any issues... do those edits with that fingerprint. ^_^ The irony is that the market still posts my phone as the Vigor but yet allowed the APK to download and the files are downloading from Gameloft instead of the error that my device is not compatable. Awesome work! This has been bugging the hell out of me for 4 months!

More than likely I'll keep both props so I can switch on the fly when need be. Seriously, I am over joyed. I baught MC3 when it was 99 cents for those 24 hours and have been trying to get it to work using multiple methods. So far, this one is appearing to work.

I decided I would upload the build.prop that worked for me in case some people are uncomfortable editing such things. All in all... I really do thank you. You got this working AND motivated me to finally get Amon Ra installed to do a nandroid backup. Clockwork was freezing on me. So all in all, very productive morning.

As usual, I'm not responsible for any damages caused to your phone by using this. Etc... DO a backup prior to using this and make a backup of your build.prop file!!!

I have used the last three versions.

1st one "WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-beta9 *** BETA *** " dropped out here and there and would not shut down. Had to go to force close to get it to turn off.

2nd one "WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-pre113 *** EXPERIMENTAL *** Experimental was OK but when I shut it down my phones wireless icon would come back grayed out and not work and I would have to toggle it to get back to normal.

3rd and current to date "WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-beta10 *** BETA *** Featured" fixed the problem in the 2nd one. Seems OK, need to run it more. I love the 4G speed connections.

See my phone config in my sig...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lblacklol:
I've been following a thread on the tether developer forum, even beta 10 is still sketchy. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?can=2&q=1257&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary&id=1257

Here's the thread. Basically there's still "dropouts" both in the data stream itself, and in the wifi access point "disappearing" from the device that is tethering to it (wifi network disconnects and device can't see it to reconnect until wifi tether is turned off and back on.) Hoping for fixes soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natolx:
If you're willing to throw down $10, Wifi and USB Tether is working fine for me. It doesn't even require root somehow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
Yeh, same here but loving it on 4G speeds. I get 30 minutes or so before it drops and getting better at getting it back fast.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
Extended Controls bypasses the subscription dial-in. Plus, you get a really good power control widget that you can even dock in the notification bar. 99 cents on the market, well worth it. Stock 4.0.2. GN LTE no root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
Wifi tether works great. I've pushed 600mb through it with no trouble at all. Tethering with LTE is awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
I loaded the 115 experimental today and like how it closes much cleaner with my WiFi icon reappearing and re-enabling promptly.

I'll test it for longevity tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lonnyrs:
So how does this happen? And besides getting my next bill, how can I be sure they aren't charging me for it? I installed the EC app, and it does work. So thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
Because the phone connects through the same access point for tethering and mobile use. There's no way for VZW to tell what you're doing unless they packet sniff your traffic. That's a lot of work that's not going to make them anywher near enough money to justify the efort of doing it then billing you (and taking your complaint call when you dial the CSR's)unless you're being a pest and pulling down 50+GB on LTE, or 20GB+ on 3G. They could, but won't unless your usage sticks out.

That's why there's a dial-in in the first place. It's easier to set up a paywall on-device (even if it's easily by-passed by those in-the-know) than to build and staff a network-wide monitoring system that might even catch fire from the Feds over privacy concerns.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sjankis630:
Are you sure Extended controls works on OCS 4.0.2 non root? I just installed it and there is not much along the lines of instructions. I tried to create a widget with wifi hotspot and usb tethering, but it won't allow me to put it on any of my homescreens. I am at the office at the moment i will have to pursue this later at home. I essentially need a tethering app whenever i travel down to my Mom's as she has no internet connection and i go into withdrawl.

Has anyone tried 1-Click WiFi Tether No Root in the market?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sjankis630:

updated - nevermind. I figured out I had to go into my phone's settings to set the password. Then it seemed to connect. Neat feature.

OK now I see the access point. AndroidAP but it says that the wireless access point requires a password. I don't recall ever setting a password and the app pretty much has no real instructions.

Any help would be appreciated.

when im charging the note i get the message: charging_q1 draw failed.

how can i repair this?

The Charging_q1 should be the battery-picture which tells me that my Gnote is charging an the logo_q1 should be the Text which comes before the Samsung Boot Animation.

Your assumption seems to be based on the fact that everyone knows how to do that. Power users like us found on the site make up a minute number of phone users. Outside of the states, the phone experience is a far larger factor than anything else. Thus users who buy Nokias are buying them for the Nokia experience primarily.

[General Topics] Chainfire:
The article makes it sound as if you the user can get the stock experience on their Sense/TouchWiz devices. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. This theme applies to text color, dialog backgrounds, etc, those sort of things. It does not make Sense or TouchWiz go away.

The only thing this applies to is to DOWNLOADABLE apps (from Android Market, for example). Such an app can choose to use the Google-original Holo theme, or whatever the device is running. This is a choice for the app developer.

A good app developer will still opt for the "whatever the device is running" option, as this will make sure your app fits into the device experience. For a "normal" user, if all the apps on a phone have one look, and your app has another look, chances are, the user will be confused and/or annoyed by your app, as it's not consistent. Us power users might rather want to use the Google experience, but for most people consistency is key. And consistency, unfortunately, is not something Android has particularly much of, design-wise (there are whole sites dedicated to documenting this).

Furthermore, the change presents a problem, because on Honeycomb devices if an app developer chose to use Holo, the app would look like the OEM-customized Holo theme. On ICS, it will look like Google's original Holo theme instead. So while this app looks consistent on Honeycomb, it'll look weird on an OEM-customized ICS !

Of course, solutions are available (see this article for example: http://www.chainfire.eu/articles/109/Themes_across_Android_versions/ )

I see this article posted and reposted everywhere, but I think most readers have the wrong idea about what has actually changed !

Isn't it merely a case that things will have to follow certain design conventions, so even when skinned to hell, the overall design conventions are based on what Google has designated?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
It was around 36% when I was able to access the battery meter following initial startup.

Only took 3 hours till full charge over USB to Wall outlet.

Is this because the USB to Wall outlet is faster charge, and that the 8 hours suggested in the manual is for USB to PC charge?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] corman1:
I don't have my prime yet however, you need to let it charge for 8 hours, even if its fully charged. This will condition your battery. Your manual also states to let it charge 8 hours.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Personally, I think the whole "charge for 8 hours" thing is bunk. No idea why ASUS recommends it, and I can't remember any other manufacturer ever recommending such a long initial charge. I think ASUS just does it to be sure people charge it completely before using.

I mean, seriously, if ASUS was that worried about it they wouldn't design the Prime to turn on when first plugged in. And, I imagine that once the battery hits 100% (signified by the green charging light), there should be a cutoff. So I'm not really sure what charging for 8 hours (or, yes, about 5 hours after it hits 100%) accomplishes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
another reason I love this tab so much. it can go from 0%-100% in 3 hrs. my Ipad takes more than double that time to get full charge. maybe not that long...lol but you know what I'm saying. this also may hold the title of fastest charging tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
thanks guys im going to finally go mobile then. Its even showing 100% too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pandaball:
Every manufacturer recommends 8 hours AFAIK in their manual or support etc. This is to condition your battery and improve its lifespan. I've had a phone which I didn't charge for 8 hours on first charge, battery life completely screwed up within half a year.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rand4ll:
Once it hits 100% you're good to go. After that it will stop charging for a bit then charge after a certain percentage drop. There will be no benefit to charging it after it hits 100%. With Li-Ion technology the whole battery conditioning thing is overblown anyways, these aren't old style NiCd or NiMH that need full draining and full charging everytime and storing with certain charge levels.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
What is the best way to save the battery life, and made a charge lasting longer?

How long should we wait before recharging the Prime? I always wait until it reaches 20-25% before recharging.

I do this about every 2 days, and when I do not use it it's standby if short pause or shut down at night.

I saw a thread somewhere in the forum but could not find it.

I do not use +IPS and brightness is about 20-25...

Not gaming, just surfing and testing Skype with WiFi (BT is not good with WiFi) so it's off
